Porsche 997 Twin Turbo Widebody R

This build has excited us from day one, and why wouldn't it, 700hp + Porsche 997 twin turbo fitted with the widebody GT3R carbon aero pack, its a fine build and one we cant wait to see finished and hitting the track driven in anger, Cobus the man behind the build has been an extremely busy putting this impressive build together over the last few months, and to say we are impressed is a bit of an under statement.

The build is not far off being completed, they are just waiting on a few parts to finalise the build, and we are happy to report the car has finally had a coat of paint, and we love the chosen colour, although the scheme will only be revealed when they launch the car at its first test, its all of the little details that have been put into the car we love, like the one off bespoke built aluminium hood that has been crafted all in-house, and the rear cooling set up for the Turbos, that have been wrapped in Phoenix Performance Thermal Insulation blankets, Marco adding his little Midas touches to this build, not only keeping the Turbos cool, but a great heat protector, as they say the devil is in the detail, Cobus and his team have some serious skill set.

BMW Z4 GT3 V8

It has been a while for our Z4 V8 build to come together, it seems so long ago since we put it out there to the world that we were going to build our own version on the BMW Z4 GT3 bat mobile, but with internal issues within the company at the end of 2014 and a pretty hectic schedule ever since, along with moving premises the time just hasn’t been right, but we decided at the end of 2016 to pull our finger out and put our own build to the front of the queue, the added bonus was our friends over at Dynotorque finally getting their own huge workload out the door, so this was our moment, and our Z4 Emerald over the festive period and into the new year, it wasn’t until the end of February until we were able to take up residence on the main Dynotorque ramp, so the work could commence with surgery of the engine, suspension and brake set up.

The iDrive system of the Z4 caused a few issues with the emerald boys, but nothing they couldn’t handle, it was just a very time consuming process and as they are a methodical bunch, it took a little longer than expected, but we were in no rush… it gets done when it gets done, but a little reminder that it’s not just the engine install you have to consider when building a car like this, but a whole host of other areas that will need attention.

Craig has wasted little time in removing the stock 2.5ltr engine, just before this happened a photo was taken of the stock N52B25 engine in situ, with this removed and a dummy LS3 fitted so fabrication of the engine and gearbox mounts could be set into place, and as the photo shows, there is so much more room for the 6.3ltr LS3 V8 to live and breathe, than there is with the original 2.5ltr (N52B25)

More updates will follow as we progress through the build, we just need to contain our excitement first.

Enkei Wheels Japan

Over the last few months we have been updating our wheel range, with some brands being deleted and some all new additions to the VAD line up, so we are pretty excited to be added some great wheel brands from Japan.

Over that last 20 years of VAD selling wheels we have always sold Japanese wheel brands, namely down to quality of the product, wheel designs and above all loyalty, have all played a big part for our continued successful relationships, with the added bonus that every Japanese wheel we sell has the worldwide recognised VIA test approval, with the JWL & JAL japan's test also applied to every wheel, so they are brands we can sell with confidence.

New to our line up for 2017 are the Enkei Japan wheel range, we are offering the cast, flow form and forged line up, as well as the 2 & 3 piece wheels they manufacture, like the Rocket Bunny 6666 old school mesh wheel design that we love and adore.
